# OrganonTweaks -- umbrella plugin for small Kanboard tweaks A home for small, unrelated Kanboard adjustments that are not big enough to deserve their own plugin. Each tweak is self-contained; more will be added over time. If a tweak grows into a real subsystem it graduates into its own plugin (see PLAN-organon-tweaks-plugin.md). ## Tweaks ### Remove an empty column Adds a **Remove this Column** entry (trash icon) to a board column's header dropdown, next to the other column actions. It appears only when the column is completely empty -- no tasks, open or closed -- because Kanboard's column removal is a plain delete and a non-empty column would orphan its tasks. Clicking it asks for confirmation, then removes the column and returns to the board. - The menu entry is rendered by the `template:board:column:dropdown` hook (which sits outside the native menu list), then moved into the menu by `Asset/js/relocate.js`. - The empty check counts open and closed tasks via a helper (`Helper/OrganonColumnHelper.php`, `taskFinderModel->countByColumnId(...)`), since the board's own count is open-only. - Only users allowed to manage columns see it, and the controller re-checks both the permission and the emptiness before deleting. ### Always show the comment icon Kanboard shows the comment icon on a board card only once it has at least one comment, so adding the *first* comment means opening the card and finding the sidebar link. With this tweak on, a card with no comments shows a comment bubble with a **"+"** that opens the same comment modal, letting you add the first comment straight from the board. Cards that already have comments keep showing the count as before. - Rendered by the `template:board:task:icons` hook (`Template/board/task_comment_icon.php`), only when the card has no comments and the user may create one (so it does not show for read-only viewers). - **On by default.** Toggle it under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks". ### Keep the board scroll position across refreshes When you drop a card (or Kanboard auto-refreshes the board via polling), it rebuilds the board with `$("#board-container").replaceWith(...)`, and the new element starts scrolled to the far left -- so the view jumps back to the first column. This tweak remembers the horizontal scroll position and restores it as soon as the rebuilt board appears, so the board stays where you were. - Implemented in `Asset/js/keep-scroll.js`: it observes the stable parent (the container itself is replaced), reads/writes `scrollLeft` on whichever `#board-container` is current. - **On by default.** Toggle it under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks". ### Open a card only on a quick click Dropping a card sometimes leaks a trailing "click" that opens the card -- an unwanted side effect of the drag. A real click is a quick press-release; a drag is a press held much longer. So `Asset/js/click-guard.js` times the press on a card (`mousedown`/`touchstart` to the following `click`) and, if it was held longer than **100 ms**, swallows the click in the capture phase before Kanboard's open handler -- so a drag never opens the card. Normal clicks (well under 100 ms) still open cards as usual. The 100 ms threshold is fixed. - **On by default.** Toggle it under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks". ### Enhance the recurrence dialog Kanboard's native "Edit recurrence" dialog is a plain form. This makes two small usability edits when it opens (there is no template hook, so it is done in JS, `Asset/js/enhance-recurrence.js`): - the "Generate recurrent task" **Yes/No dropdown** becomes two **radio buttons** (one click to set, instead of open + select). The original select is kept hidden and stays in sync, so the form submits exactly as before. - a small **[+7]** button next to the "Factor" input adds 7 to it (one week of days). - **On by default.** Toggle it under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks". ## Settings Global (per Kanboard instance) and admin-only, under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks": - **Always show the comment icon on board cards** -- default on. - **Keep the board scroll position across refreshes** -- default on. - **Open a card only on a quick click** -- default on. - **Enhance the recurrence dialog** -- default on. ## Requirements - Kanboard >= 1.2.0 ## Installation Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as `plugins/OrganonTweaks/`. The directory name must be exactly `OrganonTweaks` (Kanboard derives the plugin namespace from the folder name). No build step and no database migration. ## License AGPL-3.0. See LICENSE.
